Congratulations to Cecilia Murphy (eldest daughter of Eamon & Penny) and James McNelly who were married on the 17th September 2011 at St. Etheldreda's RC Church in London. Eamon & Penny have now seen 2 of their five children married this year. Michael was married in February. The wonderful St. Etheldreda's, is the oldest Catholic Church in England and was a wonderful setting for the wedding, and the church choir were terrific. Following the marriage ceremony, the wedding party were ferried to the magnificient Skinner's Hall in 2 London buses! It was a wonderful evening, and after a great meal, entertaining and heartfelt speeches, we were treated to a professional Irish Dancing.

Many thanks to Eamon and Penny who made it a memorable day & night!
